Woodfall Temple Boss Key Skip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ-sAxLlj3Y the whole temple needs about 30 explosives now, so this allows us to beat the temple in one trip and to skip the whole gecko battle + the way over from the Boss key Chest to the Boss Room! Swordless will have to get even more rupees now ;) edit: I totally forgot, that beating woodfall not as the first temple skips a long cutscence. thanks petrie for telling me about that. we'll have to compare gecko with the boss key skip now. I'm positiv, that boss key skip is faster, but it requieres another trip to the bomb shop, what should make it slower in the end. maybe we'll find a route, in which the boss key skip is faster, but I doubt it

looks pretty good so far, good job! I want to give fishing pond early a last attemp. I have 2 ideas, but I have some doubt, that we'll get it to work, though. 1. here's a way to do a forwards backflip, what also means, that we're able to do a forwards mega flip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHnQsdkIS2E It's explained, how to do it ;) so if link can grab ledges after a backflip, we could maybe grab the pond ledge. some parts of the pond ledge are grabable, but I have some doubt, that it will work. link can't grab ledges while sidehopping, so why should he do while backflipping? 2. sideways mega flips seem to give you more distance. why not try to get up there with a sideways mega flip from a distance? I know, you've tryed it already, but I'm not sure, if you used a sideways one. in my opinion, it's worth trying it ;)

you mean the dampe bottle right? dampe is only there on the night of the final day even if you enter the cave early ;) but it could be still faster in any%, I think

I was pretty shocked, that nobody's found it yet, because it was the first thing I did, when I entered the fairy fountain ;) I don't know, if you've seen my MM run. a recoil flip can speed ikana early also up a bit, if you don't have goron mask for rolling over the seam

we have to test this trick a lot I have a idea to reduce the number of needed explosives a little bit for all the wrong warp things. it should be also possible to hover from NCT to Snowhead etc. with 30 explosives, what is not that much. in order to get the bottle from twinrova, we could travel from ikana via the river to southern swamp, what is actually pretty convenient ;) but then there's still that stupid song.....
